In the confusion of spending a weekend looking at all kinds of posts scattered here and there I have decided to create this thread to contain all complaints and all praises concerning Tyler aka Darkarmyofone.
Please use this thread to argue and list other posts about your concerns so that we and uneducated newcomers can see all of the evidence concerning this matter. Let it all be posted here rather than among multiple threads. Thankyou

Darkarmyofone said:Crazy Jay said:Hi Darkarmyofone, How much do you charge for an 8x 405nm laser diode
module?
Just the module? $150 shipped.
In a host, $400 shipped to USA.
Would you like one? i have ONE left!
You can send funds to jes1288@hotmail.com VIA paupal.
Mark payment as service, and leave a descriptive note in the comment box durring payment.
If you need the module, order soon, as it is listed for sale elsewhere, and has 6 watchers.
Cheers!

Crazy Jay said:I will buy it if you still have it by the 1st of next month. I'm going to use Jayrobs custom DIY kit with his own homemade driver to push it at
that power. I feel chills running down my spine just thinking about it. How about a down payment to reserve it for me? I can give you
say 20 dollars of 150 dollars in total just to hold it for me.
Darkarmyofone said:I'd need 50% down to reserve. $75
Paypal - jes1288@hotmail.com
Mark payment as SERVICE, and leave a note please
It's still listed for sale remember now.

Crazy Jay said:Hi Tyler? Do you still have that module? Thursday I will be able to buy it. I'm so glad I came across this site because I get to make a
500mw bluray laser for around 250 bucks. I never expected that.
Darkarmyofone said:Wich module, I dont remember, I deal with hundreds of people, so please forgive me.
And I doubt you will get 500mW's from your laser, only one person has achieved that thus far, and thats Daguin at 516mW i think. and the
diode was a freak (more powerfull than it should have been)
most normal 8x diodes max out completely at 400-415mW after a 405-G1 lens.
And how r u gunna do it for $250... the drive alone costs's 200 shipped. then you need a driver, a host, a heatsink, batteries, the 405-G1
lens (like 60 bucks) and a module to press the diode in (and a diode press if you dont have one)
Im telling you this because your rushing into your first build trying to make the most powerful laser possible... i garuntee 70% chance it
either blows, or doesnt output more than 380mW's.
But for $400 i sell REAL 8x builds, with garuntees, and they clock in at over 420mW's, each and every one of them. I can even put one in
the pocket mini! or jayrobs CR2 Keychain kit. I already built the worlds smallest most powerful laser (you werent here then)
It was an 8x 408mW blu-ray in a tiny little keychain host ^_^ I almost called Guiness world records, but didnt want to brag about it.
Best of luck, use caution... you can easily kill that diode in a million different ways... and thats $200 down the tube!!!
Better to buy a pre-built.

Crazy Jay said:Why do you charge me more this time?
Darkarmyofone said:Because i have to get a new diode from a new source, that was one i had been sittin on and was trying to sell to make a quick buck. now
you want a new one, and thats the real price, i bullshit you not sir, look at the prices of these 8x burners, their insane!! and it's the only
way to get a REAL 8x diode. it's not as simple as buying an 8x sled from hightechdealz, his 8x's are actually 6x's that had better optics
and a spindle in the drive, so they CALL it an 8x cuz it can burn that fast... but it's not. only a TRUE from the store blu-ray burner has a
REAL 8x in it. and theres only 2 good ones. the pioneer BDR-203 8x (The BDR-S03 is the FAKE 6x i mentiond. notice the small
difference... 203...S03... watch for that) and the LG 8x drive (dont remember the model # off the top of my head)
So this is actually a steal, I want you to go and look up LG 8x burners (not WRITERS, but BURNERS capable of 8X) and compare the
price of the drive with the diode un-extracted, un-pressed, and un-installed... the price is higher than im charging you for an 8x diode in a
module... why you ask... because I get drives cheaper because i buy so many.
So take advantage if you want to, I cant do it forever let me know if you want the LG 8x in module for $180 shipped to wherever. if you
want the pioneer BDR-203 in module (more trusted, and thourghally tested) its $200 flat, shipped wherever.
THAT diode inparticular (BDR-203) can handle some SERIOUS current. i've seen people put about 400mA to one before, and it gave
them over half a watt before it died, but if they would have kep it at 350mA, they'd have a 450-470mW blu-ray burner right now lol, poor
guy (friend of mine)
Or we can go the cheaper route, and get you a BDR-S03 in module for $140 (puts out about 275mW after an acrylic lens, add a 405-G1
and boom, you got like 350-400mW's.
Let me know what you want, or if you still even want it. if you do, let me know asap, the sooner i order it, the sooner you get it

Darkarmyofone said:Crazy Jay said:How much for the Sled containing a real BDR-203? I will end up buying that.
$230 shipped. what will you do with the sled, it still needs extracting ($200 dancce of death we call it) cleaning, and pressing.
Can you do all of those things?

Tyler - Dark Lasers
Why is it every time I ask how much this diode is the price always goes up? 200 dollars for the diode extracted, cleaned and pressed
into a module, and 230 dollars for the sled without all of the work done.
Its like being charged 10 bucks for a pizza with 5 toppings and 13 dollars for a plain cheese pizza.
your confusing yourself bro, i think you might not know this, but there are 5-6 DIFFERENT 8x diode we KNOW of... I was reffering to the
best of them all.
THATS why price went up.
You reffered to LG 8x last time. THIS time i reffer to GENUINE top notch BDR-203 8x diode in module, cleaned and pressed, and
pre-wired with a driver if you like. (thats always an option)
sorry you got confused, im NOT trying to rip you off brother trust me, just specify wich diode exactly you desire, or wich diode you would
accept, and i'll make a price list. either way, it'l be expensive.
Let me know if you need help with anything
